I'm wondering if, although the form is marked as included in the project, it may not actually be written into the .EXE (some sort of .PJX corruption?) or, it was corrupted in the last .EXE build, or the .EXE itself has become corrupted somehow. Any or all of which could lead VFP to believe the form is not present in the .EXE and to go looking for it elsewhere.

A simple experiment: temporarily move the form to another folder; fire up the app and see if you can get into the form. If not, clearly something is wrong with the .EXE.

If it looks like there is an .EXE problem, you could try un-including the form from the project, re-including, then rebuilding the .EXE.
